For those of you who don’t know, I’m a freelance photographer working in the music industry (tour photography and artist portraits), the tech space (social media content for some big social media companies), branded content creation (shooting for makeup brands, clothing companies, and food/drink manufacturers) and as an ~influencer~ on the side. This is my full time gig + I’ve been shooting for about 6 years, doing it full time since graduating college a year and a half ago! It’s not easy, but not impossible. Hopefully something I mention in this video will help you if you want to be a successful freelancer as well ๐
wow take a shot every time i say “important” and do some wack hand motion

Sociology with marketing, how you must know about the workings of the group think mind! I love your hair BTW
Sweet video blackprints. We've just done our latest podcast episode on Freelance photography focusing on branded content creation. It'd be great to hear what you thought of it.
Thanks – Sweet Truth
Hey can you give some advice on choosing a good camera for a beginner in photography? ๐
Hey, I live just outside of Portland and would love to get together and do a shoot! Do you do privet shoots with people?
I got a ad that told me how lol
what camera did you use to film this?
Hey I just came across this video, thank god I'm subscribed now ๐ really great advice! Would you ever do a video on a working week for you? Like some examples of jobs you do and how you manage everything. That would be really good but thanks for the video! I love photography and im doing it part time now along with my day job!

You're so beautiful! I'm so glad I found you from listening to podcasts! FINALLY SOMEONE BEING REAL! Amazing advice, you're such a well rounded person! If you want to start linking your equipment I'd definitely be interested ๐
Hey. Thanks for the video. So how do you shoot with brands? Is that hard to "be picked" to shoot concerts and stuffs like that? How that works? How do you get to shoot famous people like Jack & Jack, Jacob Whitesides etc? ๐
Awesome, spot on with the advice. Just going freelance full time, scary but you've reasured me <3
I'd love a more in-depth video on music photography. I'm shooting for about a year now, essentially gigs and I've had some pretty cool feedback from friends, other photographers and even musicians (here is the link in case you want to check it https://www.instagram.com/theflyingtempoproject/ and let me know what you think). But I think my main problem is like how do you go from having artists saying they love your photos to actually hire you and not just repost your post on instagram? Hope you can shed some light onto this. Love your work so much that it's crazy xxx
Yeah any videos on pricing/budgeting and music photography would be awesome! Thank you for sharing!
This was great Nesrin! Would love to learn more about shooting for brands.

Hey, I love your work so much! I don't know if you'd see it if I messaged you on Instagram so I'm gonna shoot my shot here. If you ever want an assistant or your photos taken or if I could buy you coffee and pick your brain my Instagram is @thomastice again your work is amazing!
I'm so excited for this video!!! <3

YESS!!! I literally love for you & your videos ugh๐
I’ve been surfing online more than three hours today, yet I never found any interesting article like yours.
It is pretty worth enough for me. Personally, if all site owners
and bloggers made good content as you did, the internet will
be much more useful than ever before.
